Which car to replace my Nissan Primera Sport can tow a large caravan?
I have a Nissan Primera Sport (1988cc). I tow a Lunar Ultimar 462 MTPLM 1,210kg. I am looking for a small 4x4 to replace the Nissan. I am considering a Freelander 2, Hyundai i150 and Nissan Qashqai. I don't mind petrol or diesel but good fuel economy would help. A car that is 1-2 years old would be ideal. What do you advise?

I think you must mean a Hyundai ix35. That, or the equivalent KIA Sportage, would be a good choice. Both have the important advantage to a caravanner of a full sized spare wheel that is now becoming increasingly rare: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/hyundai/hyundai-ix.../

Good value for money. Low emissions and decent economy. Generous equipment levels.
Bigger than original Freelander. 2.2-litre belt cam diesel. Incredibly good off-road. Robust interior. More fuel efficient 2WD model from 2011 with no rear diff to fail.

Stylish and upmarket looks. Good quality feel to the interior. Seven-year warranty as standard. Very low CO2 for an SUV. Well equipped.
